But let me premise bj ea/ing, it is considered one of tba strongest dofenoea an/, where along '.be coast. It is emphatieall/ a sand battery—beginning just where tha ele vation of tha beach oeaaea; ao that from a hundred yards in front, it is impossible to dis tinguish the battery from (he beach. There are twelve fioe embrasures, ao oonstruolad that eaoh gun can play upon a vaasai for three or four yards as she passes. Only one of the embrasures is empty. Through five protude medium and long thirty two pounder, loaded with solid shot—each gun weighing 5,700 pounds. Through the other six are pointed tha savage mouths of 0 inch Dablgren Colutn- biads, weighing 9,0 JO lbs. eaeb, and loaded with 5, 10 and 15 seoond shell. These ean be thrown from 1 to 8} miles, aooording to the length of the fuse. We have two hundred of these ship deetroyers 1/in* near tha battery, and including them, twenty rounds to each gun of shot nod grape. The powder oartridgos are kept in air tight, water-proof, metalic car tridge cane, recovered from the veaael sunk at the burning navy yard. Tba onus are sunk in sand. The magazine, just in the roar of the baitery, and convenient to the guns, will be finished in the early part of the ooming week. The hot shot furnaoe ia working admir- rably. It ia kept heated, night and day ; and there is no minute when we are not ready to throw, with terrible rapidity, thirty two pounds of red hot iron into the vessel tbst some from a eolder clime. With tht aid of large gntta-peroha balls and lights, we com municate signals from the signal etaff to Cra ne/ Island, four miles above ue on the oppo site side of the river—whence they are ratals- graphed to Fort Norfolk, farther up on this side, and thence to Norfolk and Portsmouth, so that the news of an attack, the strength of the attacking party, &c., can be sent to Nor folk in five or ten minutes. The following authentic scale of dietanoee will give you some idea of our precise position : From Sewell's Point to Fortrese Monroe, 4} miles; to Rip Raps, 3 miles; Newport’s Noose, 5j miles; to Bush’s Bluff 13 miles, and to Crane/ Island 4 miles. Yesterday 20 23 pounders were sent to some point in Georgia, Savannah we suppose, and 23 42-pounders were sent to Gen. Bragg from the Gosport Navy Yard. The gold of Opbir was not ao valuable a possession to Solomon as is this Navy Yard to the'Boutbern Confederacy.

For Dixle'e land we'll take o And live or die for Dixie !” etc. Now, I do oot wish to spoil a pretty illusion, but the real truth ia that Dixie is an indigen- oua Northern negro refrain, aa common to the writer hereof es the lamp poata in New York oity, seventy or seventy-five years ego. It was one of the every day allusions of boys at that time, in all of their out-door sports.— And no one ever heard of Dixie'a land being other than Manhattan Island until recently, when it has been erroneously supposed to ro- fer to the South from its connection with pa- tbetio negro allegory. When vlavsry existed in New York, one Dixey” owned a large tract of land on Man hattan Island, and a large number of slaves. The inorease of the alavei and the increase of the abolition sentiment oaused the emigration of the slaves to more thorough and secure elavee sections, and the negroes who were (hue eent off (many being horn there) netur ally looked back to their old homes, where they had lived ia olover, with feelings of re gret, aa they could not imagine any place like Dixey’e. Hence it beoame s/aenymetis with an Ideal locality, combining ease, oomfort and material happiness of every description. In those days the negro singing and minstrelsy were in their infancy, and anv subject that eonld be wrought into a ballad was eagerly ploked up; this was the ease with “ Dixie.” It originated in New York, and attained the proportioni of a song there. In its travels it has been enlarged, and has “gathered mote it has picked up a “note” kere and there ; a “ chorus” bee been added to it, and from an indistinct “chant” of two or three aotee, it baa become on elaborate melody; bat that it ie not a Southern eong “ cannot be rubbed out,” the fallacy ie eo popular to the oontrary that I have thus beet at paias to state the real origin •!

HOWARD, P. 11 Amount or Abiknck Phopkk ron Husbands. —Miss Muloch says. “ A lady of my aequain tance gives it as her «im qua non ot domest'e felicity, that the 'men of the family should be absent at least six hours in the day.' And truly, a mistress of a family, however strong ber sffeciion for the male members of it, oannot but acknowledge that this is a great boon. A house where ‘papa’ or the 'boys’are always 'pottering about,’ popping in and out at all hours, everlastingly wanting something, or finding fault with something else, is a con siderable trial to even feminine patience.— And I beg to ask my sex generally—in con fidence of course—if it is not the greatest com fort possible when the masculine half of the family being cleared for the day, the house settles into regular work and orderly quiet* ness until evening ? Also, it is good for them as well ae for us, to have all the inevitable petty domestic 'bothers,’ got over in their ab* aeooe ; to effeot which ought to be one of the principal aims of the mistress of a family. ■*. Let them, if possible, return to a quiet smil ing home, with all its small annoyanoes brush ed away like the dust and cinders from the grate—wbioh, en passant, is one of the first requisites to meke a fireside look comfortable. It might be aa well too, if the master himself could contrive to leave the worldly mud of the day at the scraper outside hie door.” Furthkk Outrages at Hampton.—When the vandals from the North ocoupied Hamp ton, an officer with a squad of men went to the store of Mr. P. Lattimer, and demanded possession. Mr. Lattimer replied that be bed purchased and paid for hie atock of goods, and the offioer might have them at Heir val uation. The officer said he would have the goods and etore and not pay a cent for them, and drawing his aword slapped Lattimer with it on the face. Lattimer then drew a revol ver and fired it, when the officer fell. He then leaned over the counter and fired three more shots in ths body, causing death. Lattimer was, of course, captured, and taken to Old Point and hung on Friday last. The officer killed is said to be a Lieutenant in one of the companies, and distinguished for military abilities. He has met a dog’s death in a dog’s cause. Mr. W. C. Marrow, of Hampton, was also treated in a moat shameful andindeoent men- He was captured in the town, having hie uniform on, stripped Hark naked, maroh- ed through the streets in that condition, and then carried to Fort Monroe, ae a prisoner.— Can suoh things be done in this enligntened age and not rouse to boiling heat the blood of every Southerner T Doll Phtsiologt.—Two little girls, one re joicing in bine ribbons, the other in pink, were ene day bewailing their domeatio misfor tunes in mock maternal language.

GRIFFIN, Garnett street, Atlanta, June $.-j7;tt Real Estate Agent. Washington, D. C., Juno 10.—An atteok on this place by tbo Confederate troope, from Point of Rooks, is expected. They are encour aging another revolt in Baltimore; and, being joined by n large force of Marylanders, will march through Maryland to tha attack, sup ported by a formidable advance from Manas- •aa Junction. It is supposed that Harper’s Ferry will be evacuated on the approach of tha Federal troope. Fonr thonkand Southerners art at the Acquis Croak batteries. It is reported that Gen. Dix will rbsign. Gov. Wise is assignsd to tha command of North-Western Virginia. Secretary Chase will probably recommend to Congress a loan of $259,000,000. On the 26th of May, Col. G. B. Crittendon, son of Hon. John J. Crittenden; Major James Longstreet, son of J udgo Long street, of South Carolina; Lieut. H. C. McNeil, of Texas, and several others, left for the Southern States via Texas—having resigned. Tbe movements at this point are of eueh character as do not authorise publicity. It is bulievsd there has been no change in the po sition of the Southerners. Tho Fairfax Court House affair ia greatly de plored, ae causing Southern movements which embarrass tha Federalists. Communication between Alexandria and the Southern camp is still carried ou. Ethridge, of Tennessee is spoken of as Clark of tha House. Although all is quiet, at the War Department on Sunday more business was transacted than any day since tha war commenced. The New York Times' Paris correspondent says there is no reason why Hayti may not soon excite the commiseration of tbe Frenoh Empire—precisely for the same reason that SL Domingo excited tbe commiseration of Spain. [Our readers are cautioned against putting too much reliance on dispatches from Wash ington.] Tha troops have not been paid. This hai been caused by absenoe of tbe Pay-Roles and t laok of money. Mechanics are baeyconetructing wagons and ambulances, and a largc’number of hordes are being drilled for artillery eervice. Ten thouaand troope have been formed in Baltimore, within thirty six boars—all pre pared for a vigorous rising. Arms are stored in private houses. It has been determined to bombard the city from Fort McHenry ou the first sign of upris< ing. Gen. Beauregard declares his intention to concentrate 70,000 at Manassas and make the Junction impregnable. Tbe Government is in possession of letter!, indicating many traitors in the North. Gov ernor Hicks baa notified Lincold that the cap- itol is menaced from Maryland. Ha requests the full ccoupatiou of Frederick city by Fed eral troops. Four thousand secessionists at Baltimore, with concealed arms, are watching their opportunity. The Miohigandere have been fired on by Baltimoreans. Gen. Banks (of Massachusetts) takes com mand of Baltimore to-morrow. Federal troops from this place en route to Harper’s Ferry, have reached Ed ward’! Fer ry—half-way. The brother of Jackson who killed Ellsworth ie reported to have been captured. At 3 o’clock this morning a large fores march ed through Georgetown towards Point of Rocks Tbe Southerners are in possession of infor mation of Federal movements. Tha Goverr.mant has advices that cannon from Manassas, by tba Central Railroad, has bean stationed in Center. Gen. Scott's horse was sent to Baltimore to day.
